This Month’s Hot Topic for The Single Saved Sistah is…The Live In Boyfriend A.K.A. The Live In Boaz
Now ladies, y'all know with your saved sanctified selves that Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior is not down with the get down going down before the touchdown. Some of you may be asking, “What is the touchdown?” Let me be the one to explain it to you. The touchdown is marriage. You know the state of being lawfully united to a person of the opposite sex as husband and wife. It’s what us single sistahs want, at least most of us.
It’s also why I’ve witnessed so many of us single Christian women in compromising situations, especially giving everything written in Proverbs 31 to a knock-off Boaz in return for his stay. Newsflash, this type of man is only after one thing and once he gets it he’s packing his bags in search of the next vacationing spot! How can his intentions be honorable if they don’t line up with the word of God? Don’t let good sex cause you to make a bad decision. The fleeting pleasure he gives you is nothing compared to the unconditional love God has for you. That’s like trying to compare a diamond with a cubic ziconia. Just because it looks good doesn’t mean it has any real value.
Knowing who I am in Christ keeps me from being any man’s sampling tray. Shoot, I am the appetizer, soup, salad, entree', and dessert. If I decide to give away all my goodies it better come attached with a ring, a minister, and some wedding gifts because before all is said and done I plan to get compensated spiritually and financially. Plus the Bible is very clear when it says to abstain from fornication. I for one am too scared of the pits of hell to let some dude nimble on the gristle before marriage.
Now, I know what some of you are thinking. What about those who are not having sex with their live in Boaz? What if they are just getting to know one another before making the decision to be married? I may be young, but I not naïve. It is still wrong! I don't care which way you spin it, wrong is wrong in the eyes of the Lord.
Don’t sacrifice your true Boaz for a cheap imitation. Wait on God and be content with your single status. Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven…” Never move into anything prematurely. The price may be more than you are willing to pay.
